The wife of the Army soldier who blew up a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas Wednesday broke up with him six days before he killed himself inside the vehicle, according to law enforcement sources.Matthew Livelsberger, 37, left his Colorado Springs home the day after Christmas following an argument with his wife over apparent infidelity, according to two sources familiar with the investigation.
His wife, who had a baby daughter with Livelsberger, reportedly told him that she knew he had been cheating, the sources said.
Livelsberger was an active member of the Army's elite Special Forces, and was known to be a "Rambo-type patriot" and staunch Trump supporter.
Law enforcement officers are investigating if he had purposefully picked a Cybertruck for political reasons, the sources said.
A highly decorated Army soldier who died in an explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck at the Trump hotel in Las Vegas left a note saying it was stunt to serve as "wakeup call," investigators said Friday.
Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old Green Beret from Colorado Springs, also wrote in the note that he needed to "cleanse my mind" of the lives lost of people he knew and "the burden of the lives I took."
"This was not a terrorist attack, it was a wakeup call. Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence. What better way to get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives," Livelsberger wrote in a letter found by authorities who released only excerpts of it.
In one letter, read by Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren of the Las Vegas Metropolitan police, Livelsberger wrote, "Fellow service members, veterans, and all Americans: time to wake up, we are being led by weak and fecalist leadership who only serve to enrich themselves."
In another note, he wrote, "We are the United States of America, the best country people to ever exist. But right now, we are terminally ill and headed toward collapse," Koren said.
Investigators continue to collect evidence to determine his motivation, Spencer Evans, special agent in charge of the FBI's Las Vegas Division said.
